There is no Dana. Only Zuul.
Halloween will be here soon, kiddies, and I've been watching lots of scary movies. Did I just say "kiddies"? When did I become the crypt keeper? Law school must have aged me 8,000 years in two months.
Today I watched Ghostbusters and I said to myself, "Hey isn't that on this list?" And it is. I do not live under a rock so I have obviously seen Ghostbusters at least a dozen times before today. When I was little I thought the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was called "State Puff". I very vaguely remember watching the cartoon as well (probably annoyingly because my brother watched it). Actually I think I saw the cartoon first and then when I saw the movie I was like, um why isn't Slimer hanging out with them the entire movie? They don't even officially call him Slimer. Slimer deserves more credit than he gets. He's a class act. He's the real star.
Oh god remember Ecto Cooler Hi-C? I just threw up in my mouth a little bit because a local bar serves Ecto Cooler fish bowls that are so sickly sweet you die. Actually I just found out that the bar is closing...probably has something to do with the Ecto Cooler fish bowls.
I ain't afraid of no ghosts!
So is Ghostbusters funny? It's not as funny as I remember it being. It has incredible one liners like "Cats and dogs living together...Mass hysteria", "This man has no dick", and "Ray when somebody asks you if you're a God you say you're a God!". Most of it was ad-libbed, especially by comedy genius, Bill Murray. I love ad-libbed stuff.
I'd say it's about a 7/10 on the Funnyometer.
The funniest part of this movie is how terrible the effects are. They must have looked so cool in the 80s.
Maybe Ivan Reitman should pull a George Lucas.
